In a statement released on Wednesday, the agency noted that the Canadian province will not process employer applications to hire overseas workers in job classifications included in the Refusal to Process list. The jobs are considered as high-wage occupations.

Last April, the said province introduced an Employer Liaison Service, a two-year pilot program that prohibits Alberta employers from using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

The service provides enhanced recruitment support to companies looking for high-skilled workers to hire Alberta citizens rather than foreign workers.

The following job categories that have been placed on a Refusal to Process list are human resources managers, engineering managers, purchasing agents and officers, production logistics coordinators, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical and electronic engineers, geological and mineral technologists and technicians, civil engineering technologists and technicians, Industrial engineering and manufacturing technologists and technicians, non-destructive testers and inspection technicians, contractors and supervisors, electrical trades and telecommunications ?occupations, machinists and machining and tooling inspectors and welders and related machine operators.
